1st Time at Fresno Horse Park

We went to Fresno Horse Park over the weekend. It was a long haul, but they offer so many jumps for beginners.  When we got there I had to wait for the rest of the group.  We walked around and grazed for a while and got used to the gun range near by.  I just hopped on and followed my group.  I did bring a lunge line just in case.  I had my homemade jump strap on, but it needs modification.  Now we have not jumped since September so when we headed to our first log, I shut down.  She jumped it, but stopped the second time.  I blame myself because she was willing and I have this memory of all the stopping.  I know she knows I don't trust her.  She spooked once when a rider made a ton of noise in the water.  Go figure that water never bothers her.  She looks at it and then goes in to play.  We headed out on the intro course, and did about 6 round tops.  She stopped at a few, but went right over them after a look.  She also jumped a stair like jump that looked spooky to me.  She just went for it and I decided to end on that note.  She was so good.  We might never win at anything, but I think if we take lots of road trips she might like it.  She certainly doesn't act unhappy.  Well, there was lots of grass to eat there.
